We're talking Lubbock area here. What possible good would it do for the guy to use a bit of the oil earnings and buy another farm only to turn right around and end up with yet another oil fortune. It's simply one of those no-win situations with no easy solution.
You know what, you are right! Money is dirty, I mean it really has germs and stuff on it, oil money would have nasty oil on it. Not healthy to have it around.
I knew a lawyer once years ago and he had his wife wash all the cash money that he got from clients. I mean she really put it in the sink with soap and water and then ironed it dry. No dirty money for that guy no sir! Not gonna hang anything on him. snort)))))))
